The defeat of the Real Madrid in Mestalla (2-1), in communion to the triumph of the Athletic of Madrid in front of the Girona (2-0), leaves to the 'colchoneros' five points above the whites in LaLiga Santander 2018-19. To the ones of Zidane complicates them the second square

The 'Effect Zidane' has taken little in difuminarse. After the deceptive victories in front of Celtic of Vigo (2-0) and Huesca (3-2), split in which the Real Madrid suffered more than the account to obtain the three points, this Wednesday arrived the first white fuss from the return to the bench of Zinedine Zidane, the one who could not avoid the defeat suffered against Valencia (2-1) in Mestalla.

Although by moments controlled the game and approached dangerously to the goal of Net, to the Real Madrid was missing him fluidity in the balcony of the area to the hour to combine, and especially a 'nine' goleador that it was able to finish the a lot of centres of Asensio, Odriozola and Marcelo that they were cleared without problems by the defence of Valencia.

The group 'ché' took to the Real Madrid desprovisto practically in each contragolpe, and marked two goals that could have been some more if Carlos Soler, Rodrigo and company had been something finer in the ending. The case is that, if we joint the defeat of the Real Madrid in Mestalla with the victory of the Athletic of Madrid in front of the Girona (2-0) this same day, see that the 'colchoneros' already surpass to the whites by five points.

The table clasificatoria of LaLiga Santander 2018-19 is that it burns so much by up as by down, and the fuss merengue in earths 'chés' complicates the aspirations of the team of Zidane to the hour to try finish the championship in second position. The Athletic exerts of bridge between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, when being 8 points underneath of the culés and five above the madridistas, as we already have signalled.

Although the group trained by Diego Pablo Simeone fell defeated this next Saturday in the Camp Nou and the Real Madrid won his respective meeting in front of the Eibar, the whites would follow being underneath of the Atleti in the classification, to fault of seven days more for contesting . In these seven days, this yes, will be difficult that the Athletic add all the points in dispute.

The 'colchoneros' have parties complicated, especially in Wanda Metropolitan in which they will have to receive to the Seville and precisely to Valencia, teams that will go out to by all when being playing a square to be in Champions League the next season 2019-20. Step backwards of the Real Madrid, to the that remains him a lot to seem to the of the three 'orejonas' consecutive of Zidane, and that goes way to remain third in LaLiga of the same form that occurred the past year, when it remained with 76 points (to three of the 79 of the Athletic).

Florentino Pérez will have a lot of work, this summer, to the hour to give exit and entrance to several players in the staff merengue, with the aim to freshen it and endow it of the resources and the balance that escasean this season 2018-19, after the course of players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Kovacic, in addition to the toneless level of heavy weights like Kroos, Casemiro or Marco Asensio.
